... There are also social and psychological benefits associated with exercise including reduced anxiety and depression, and improved overall wellbeing (Eime, Young, Harvey, Charity, & Payne, 2013). However, sport carries a risk of injury, with incidence rates in adolescent sport being reported at 2.64 per 1000 h (Schaffer et al., 2022) and 46% over a 12 month period in organised sport (Sheean, Lubowitz, Brand, & Rossi, 2023). Previous injury is one of greatest predictors of future injury in sport (Friden, Ekenros, & von Rosen, 2023), and recurrent injury increases the likelihood of premature drop out from sport (Iadevaia, Roiger, & Zwart, 2015b). ...

... These visual aids can effectively condense the nuanced insights and recommendations of the consensus initiatives, making them more easily digestible and memorable for the audience. Furthermore, KSSTA could integrate these infographics within their journal publications, online platforms, and educational materials-ultimately also increasing social media attention and article citation [1,3,6]. This integration could serve to reinforce the consensus statements, providing a quick reference for readers and promoting the implementation of evidence-based practices in the field of orthopaedics. ...

... In addition to being published in the review section, many bibliometric articles are also published in the systematic review section (Gu et al., 2021;Zhu et al., 2022;Liu et al., 2024;Zhi et al., 2024). Bibliometrics is similar to systematic reviews in terms of searching the literature and can be used to study different and important areas of investigation and to obtain a general overview of the published literature (Lubowitz et al., 2023). Bibliometrics reviews all fully published articles in biomedical journals, including diverse research methodologies such as descriptive studies, observational studies, experimental studies, qualitative studies, and systematic reviews, thus illuminating the robustness of the available evidence (Manoj Kumar et al., 2023). ...

... Research investigating the variability in post-ACLR protocols identified the average recommended timing of RTS to be 7.5 months post-ACLR; however, these timelines ranged from 3 to 11 months [1]. Additionally, a recent survey of American orthopedic surgeons demonstrated inconsistencies with RTS timelines, with leaders calling for more consensus on the topic [2][3][4]. This Current Opinion article is not aimed to establish this consensus, but rather to examine potential influences on the time to RTS, how it is assessed within the literature, and to promote discussion on this common topic within the sports medicine and athletic communities. ...

... While the statistical significance of changes in subjective fatigue assessments can be estimated using current analytical methods, it is difficult to judge whether these changes have "practical significance" (i.e., affecting athletic performance). The reason for this challenge is that the field of sports science has yet to establish a minimal important difference (MID) for subjective fatigue assessment methods [26][27][28]. ...

... Some consider the MCID to be too low of a threshold, failing to adequately address patient satisfaction or whether substantial benefit was derived from the treatment in question and therefore, recommend additional measures of clinically significant difference beyond 'minimal' be reported 43 . In contrast to MCID, the SCB represents a change that is reflective of considerable clinical improvement 22,44 . Our 12-month SCB for IKDC following combined autologous BMC and PRP treatment of 29.5 falls between the SCB values of 26.9 and 34.4, reported for the surgical approaches of osteochondral allograft transplantation and autologous chondrocyte implantation, respectively 21,45 . ...

In a recent commentary, Brand and Hardy (2022) deployed the AKP to learn more about the reasons why patients are dissatisfied: "whereas happy patients receive the same procedures for similar indications as unhappy patients, evidence supports a clear association between negative psychological function and worse preoperative and postoperative patient-reported outcome measures" (p. 3207). ...

Brand et al. write in 2022 that "Face-to-face meetings facilitate great spontaneity, profound exchange, nuanced communication, personal sharing, and efficient and passionate occurrence of new ideas, " which this study also supports (15).

... The issue of overtreatment is largely considered a problem in medical disciplines (e.g., geriatrics, psychiatry, oncology, palliative care). It has been suggested that the hippocratic oath "to treat the ill to the best of one's ability" is now more actual than ever and requires improving entire healthcare systems, whose efficiency in care delivery and providing best outcomes is compromised by overtreatment, overdiagnosis, inattention to warmth and sympathy, medicalization of normal, failure to attend to prevention [29]. ...

In addition to the rapid and easy access to health-related information for search engines and social media users, it has become a necessity for them to access accurate and reliable information (Warren et al. 2021;Brand et al. 2022;Demirtas and Alici 2023).
